In the following example :

\version "2.17.9"

<<
\relative c' { g a' a r4 a1 }
\addlyrics { u u u u }
\relative c''' { r2 r32 d8.. r4 R1 }


I'm not convinced that the lower voice should slice through the lyrics. I'm typesetting a choral works and it looks, while sightreading, that the u in the higher voice is a sort of annotation for the lower voice (the spacing is even tighter in my real example).

What does real literature do? Does this type of typesetting ever happen? I think it'd be worth it to horizontally pad skylines in Lyric contexts so that this sort of snug fitting doesn't happen.

Cheers,

I'd expect the staves to be spaced further apart to keep the upper lyrics away from the lower notes.
